Reporting financial results for the month, responsible for accruals and prepayments and all month end adjustments.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

Great support from the training provider
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
The learning has been helpful in understanding my role better but due to each module varying it can be difficult to apply all learning directly to the job.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
Some social activities are hosted, all that is can I get involved with
